Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation contemplated award of fixed-price contract, price realism analysis was reasonable where agency compared proposed prices to independent government estimate and other proposed prices, and ensured that prices reflected a complete understanding of the requirement. 2. Protest that the independent government estimate (IGE), revised after receiving initial offers, was unreasonable and that awardee's price realism determination was improperly based on comparison with the revised IGE is denied, where agency had a reasonable basis for revising the IGE and the revised IGE was consistent with prices received by the majority of the competitive range offerors.
